For debugging the new views and tabs, you might want to give the debugging perspective a try.

Hi Jurriaan,

I think you're on the right way with the implementation. I don't have any examples for custom folder/document actions at hand at the moment, but it was done before, in a similar way.

Furthermore, you can use the overriding mechanism in the CMS to replace certain pipelines in the CMS by your own implementation, see this page:

Subject: [HippoCMS-dev] Adding a video tab
Hello all,

I want to extend the CMS (Release-CMS-v6_05_01) with a tab for adding video meta data. This extension is similar to the imageset functionality.

The video xml's will be placed in /default/files/default.preview/video.

I have managed to create a tab which shows the contents of the video folder. My next step is to add a folder action, which creates a new sub folder.

In the component.xml of the video perspective, the following view is added:
<view id="videofolderactions" label="FolderActions" className="VideoFolderActionsView" appUrl="/explorer/actionsform" bootParam="/video/" style="actionsview"/>

In actions.xml (extensions module) I have added:
  <ActionList resourceType="videoCollection">
    <ActionGroup name="actions.folderactions.label" i18n:attr="name">
      <Icon>folder_open</Icon>
      <Action>
        <ID>documents_makeCollection</ID>
        <Label><i18n:text>actions.folder.new</i18n:text></Label>
        <Icon>folder_new</Icon>
        <Param>
              <ID>name</ID>
          <Label><i18n:text>actions.folder.new.name</i18n:text></Label>
          <Datatype>string</Datatype>
        </Param>
      </Action>
    </ActionGroup>
  </ActionList>


I have found out that workflow2actions.xsl translates the path to the resourceType. The xsl file is part of the editor module.

Is it possible to extend this mechanism, without creating a patch? If not, how do I create a patch?

Thanks in advance.

Jurriaan van den Bosch
